Motion and Shift Package for Tempo Offenses:X&O Labs is releasing a new clinic report next Tuesday detailing how Rose-Hulman Institute’s tempo offense struggled with keeping rhythm on incomplete passes and short gains. This report will include how RHI found that continuing to play fast while protecting a late lead can allow the opposition to get back into the game. So, offensive coordinator Brian White and his staff integrated a shift and motion package, which allowed them to give the threat of snapping the ball by lining up quickly, only to change the picture that the defense sees. It gave defenses a very short period of time to diagnose the original formation, then the new formation, and make their calls and adjustments accordingly. The Fighting Engineers averaged over 475 yards per game this season. This clinic report includes video and illustrations.
